Notes on ‘AI Engineering’ (Chip Huyen) chapter 6

This article provides detailed notes and analysis on Chapter 6 of Chip Huyen's 'AI Engineering' book. It summarizes the chapter's core thesis of unifying Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and AI Agents as approaches to context construction. Key topics covered include RAG architecture (sparse vs. dense retrieval), cost considerations of vector databases, and the framing of RAG as a specialized case of the agent pattern.
